Religion

Most people that know me know about my views on religion. I am an atheist, which means I do not believe in a god, afterlife, or anything that has no evidence of it's existance. That doesn't mean, however, that I don't believe in anything at all. I do believe in rational thought, doing to others as you would have them do unto you, and always acting to benefit our species.

There are a million different aspects about the religious debate, so I'll just go over a couple things. First of all, the burden of proof relies on the person with the religious belief. As an atheist, it is pretty much impossible for me to prove god's nonexistance or anything's nonexistance for that matter. You can't prove something's nonexistance if there is nothing in existance to prove it. In other words, it is impossible to disprove.

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."
This analogy is known as Russell's Teapot.

In other words, it means that if there is an assertion with no evidence but also no way to disprove it, and a society is grown up to accept the assertion with absolute certainty and taught it every Sunday since birth, then it becomes an imagined "truth" among the people. However, people like me are created when we start thinking about it and realize there is such a thing as atheism. There's a few other arguments in atheism related to this as well: Pink Unicorn, Flying Spaghetti Monster

And that's why I call myself the "SKEPTIC" Samurai. That's all I have to say about religion for today, but I'm sure I will post further arguments into the subject later. So with that, may god not bless you.
